Claremont Foods

My experience at Claremont Foods was extremely stressful and disappointing. One of the biggest issues was the lack of basic employee accommodations. We were not allowed to take our own water back to the work area, even if we didn’t work near production. Instead, the only option was tap water in small cups, which many employees avoided because it tasted unpleasant. For a job that requires constant movement and long hours, this made it hard to stay hydrated and feel safe.
cheduling was another major problem. The schedule was often changed last‑minute, and employees had very little control or notice. It felt like there was no consistency or respect for people’s time outside of work.

Management was also a concern. There was a lot of favoritism, and certain supervisors clearly treated some employees differently. It created an uncomfortable and unprofessional environment. Many workers talked about how personal relationships between supervisors and staff affected decisions, opportunities, and fairness. It made the workplace feel divided and not based on merit.

Overall, the environment was chaotic, communication was poor, and employees were not supported. The pay does not make up for the stress, lack of organization, and unprofessional culture. I would not recommend working here if you’re looking for a respectful, stable, or healthy workplace.


The shifts are a mandatory 12-hour shift.
They offer full benefits.
Work-Life balance is nonexistent.

If you go above and beyond your personal responsibilities and work performance, you will get told you are appreciated but no other recognition nor compensation beyond that.
The management is lackluster and the communication and organization between all levels is sub-par at best.
You can and will be used as if you are just another piece of equipment or machinery. They look at their employees as just a tool to be used and cast aside, they do not properly maintain any of it and they can afford to use and discard without any meaningful discretion.
If you try and identify problems in the workplace, no solutions will be offered or implemented until the consequences roll from the top of the internal structure downward.

At the end of the day this company generates $100+ Million dollars annually so if you are willing to work for a soulless, corporate entity that I predict will not last too long; due to their toxic work ethics and incompetent management. They know how to produce and generate income; they do not know how to maintain or sustain it.

Claremont loses clients constantly and for good reason. Positions and hours are constantly cut because they can't keep clients and management is incapable of delegating meaningful tasks. Snotty owners come in late and leave early but expect their employees to give over 100%. The "carpet" in the office hasn't been replaced in who knows how long and is revolting. 

They offer benefits AFTER 60 days which includes health, dental and vision that doesn't cover anything, 1 week PTO for hourly and 2 weeks PTO for salary, $20,000 in life insurance and no retirement benefits because they're "a new company." 

The employees that work here are unprofessional and rude. Clearly since they're working for this company they couldn't do better. 

Overall, there are MUCH better companies to work for.

My initial excitement about this role quickly faded due to management issues. Leaders are often disengaged and provide constant criticism without offering adequate training or support. Advancement is heavily influenced by nepotism, with leadership roles filled by friends who often underperform without consequence.

The compensation is good, but it comes at the cost of your work-life balance, as mandatory overtime is consistently required. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a fair and professional work environment.

Claremont Foods desires to be top notch, however, lacks the leadership to successfully guide the company. The company has more than its fair share of problems ranging from expired inventory, to production problems to poor communication and training.  All other things being equal, steer clear of this company.

This was a long time ago and much may have changed. However, at the time I was paid a salary rate that divided by the hours I worked resulted in me being paid less than minimum wage. I had an amazing direct boss. The owners are kind people with good intentions. However, the expectations and work environment were unfair to the majority of workers.

 This company has no development plans for employees. There is no path for advancement and a huge turnover rate. VERY poor ownership/management with NO interest in their employees. Claremont Foods is very unfriendly and not an inclusive workplace. 

Very hard to advance into a better job position within the company. Management is okay but I wish we had more work, this is NOT a full time job as stated. 40 hours per week is very hard to reach, more like 28-32 hours and a couple of hours make a huge difference.

Changes aren't always easy, but this company is moving to the forefront.  New management staff in place, and great pay!  People are great to work with, like being a part of a family.  Hard work but opportunities are plenty.

As sanitation supervisor claremont foods was very successful company that cared highly for there employees.  The team i put together was very well organized and work well together
